If it was found out that other galaxies are not moving further, and further away from us quickly.. This would cause the Big Bang Theory too lose its credibility. Also if many other pieces of evidence were found out to be untrue , I believe this theory would lose much of its credibility. The first part of this theory, I will be discussing my main point, which is whether galaxies are moving away from us or not and at what speed. According to Hubble's law, the universe has been expanding since…

Discussion – Tayla Dorrington Introduction There are 2 major theories about the universe and how it began. These are the steady state and The Big Bang theory. Both theories have an explanation on how our Universe is, how it began and how it works. Both theories have stuff in common but also have many differences that could completely change the way we look at the Universe. The Big Bang Theory has much more evidence supporting it, while the Steady State Theory has been proven wrong. Big Bang…

- Have you ever thought about visiting the universe? Or have over viewed it? It is amazing how scientists are able to make discoveries about the universe. Incredibly, scientists have invented special instruments that can tell wether an object is moving away from Earth or towards it, and they also made many other such instruments. Yet, there are many questions an average person would ask such as, How was the universe formed, how old is the universe, and will the universe expand forever? The…

Best phrased by surgeon, author, and inventor Leonard Shlain in his book, Art & Physics, “Revolutionary art and visionary physics are both investigations into the nature of reality.” However dissimilar Vincent van Gough’s Starry Night may seem from Isaac Newton’s second law of motion, according to Shlain, this is what fundamentally unifies the two subjects. Physics is the study of the natural world, while art is the representation of it. Art has been part of our culture longer than any of the…

The article, “Our Universe could be reborn as a bouncing baby cosmos” by Lisa Grossman suggests that there may be a new theory to how the universe began, that seems to be more accurate than the current theory. This new theory created by Neil Turok and Steffen Gielen is the new Big Bounce model; not to be confused with the older big bounce-big crunch model. This model, unlike all other past contenders, has been able to begin the first steps in an accurate description to how the universe…

To infinity, and beyond!: Stephen Hawking Stephen Hawking is an individual who provided some insight on the questions of the universe. At the time of Hawking’s adolescence, space and anything beyond our solar system baffled scientists, they had no idea or if they thought they had an idea, it was more sci-fi than actual science. Without Hawking’s findings, we most likely wouldn’t have the space technology we do today. Stephen Hawking impacted the way people see theoretical physics, black holes,…

Geography Question 1: The big bounce theory. The big bounce theory is a theory that scientists have created that shows that the universe was formed The big bounce theory is a scientific theory about the origins of the universe. Scientists say that our universe is the result of the previous universes collapse. The big bounce theory states that the universe expands and contracts. The universe expanded so greatly that it exploded and created the universe we’re living in today, The Milky Way.…

The Big Bang Theory is the on-going explanation about how the universe began. The theory talks about the universe as we know it starting with a small originality, then expanding over the next 13.8 billion years to the universe we know of today. The phrase "Big Bang Theory" has been popular among astrophysicists for decades. The idea is that the universe began with an explosion more than 14 billion years ago, and many scientists also believe our universe and others, come from a “singularity”.…

Objective Description In the year 2000, the American Museum of Natural History posted an essay as an online resource, Profile: Georges Lemaître, Father of the Big Bang. An excerpt from Cosmic Horizons: Astronomy at the Cutting Edge. It was edited by Steven Soter and Neil deGrasse Tyson. The profile begins with a simple explanation of the expanding universe and how Georges Lemaître published his mathematical findings that today we know as the Big Bang theory. Soter and deGrasse Tyson provide…

In this paper I will analyze the argument of the “Fine-Tuned Universe”, describe what it means, show how an opponent would argue that intelligent design isn’t the best explanation, and also provide my own view on this argument from my theist view. Have you ever wondered how the universe got here? How everything perfectly fell into place, and how you’re here today? The Fine Tuned Universe argument may help you better understand. This argument is a version of the teleological argument, which is…
